Born To Be Bad, Who Do You Love, The Fixxer... What a start to a great show! This was like a souped up 50's revue. Two guitar attack, a frontman with the attitude of The Fonz, simple tight rhythms, and a sax player who can blow! George led this show with swagger and humor. Favorites like Bad To The Bone, Get A Hair Cut, and Move It On Over had their own feel live in spite of having a similar sound. George was truly the "bad" one.
I am so glad I went to this show. In spite of most of the crowd being a generation older than me, I had a blast! George and the Destroyers sounded so good that I'm sorry I have missed them in the past. You have to see this band!
The opener was Todd Cambrige, I think. He writes for artists like Johnny Winter and Lynyrd Skynyrd. He had some good tunes, but they sounded much the same. This wouldn't be so bad if he were able to give them each their own feel like George did. Todd did play a snare drum and had a guitar player and that was sort of unique. They played well together, but there were times that it felt as though something was missing instrumentally. He was decent and would be great in a hotel bar.
Go see George Thorogood and the Destroyers. You deserve it!
